thecapn Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Been emailing tempest to see what these are, he believes they may be test/demo cartridges. Any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecapn Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Games are: Vanguard slot machine Swordquest Football: Real Sports and the ornage on is Coke wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 These are very interesting indeed, they seem to be from some kind of ROM manufacturer selection test. OKI NCR AMI etc. Each one is made by a different manufacturer and they seem to be only days apart in labeling. I think you may have a genuine Coke Wins mask ROM on your hands.

thecapn Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 My mother was a huge garage sale fan. She bought them in the early 90's from an Atari Rep's sale (or so my brother says) We played them every once and a while (Outlaw being one of my all time favorites) I'll post some more pictures, you guys seem to enjoy them Thanks for all the input.

Rom Hunter Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Funky stuff. Thanks for sharing. Pepsi Invaders (Coke Wins) is a great find. Curious what Tempest has to say about these. Somehow I remember seeing a picture of a similar looking yellow painted cart before. Wasn't there some yellow painted Diagnostic Test cart out there? Edit: found it http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/87867-2600-prototype-found-5-14-2006/page__view__findpost__p__1083492 Edited October 23, 2009 by Rom Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tomlin Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I'm guessing that the saw cut is there to mean "not for sale" or somesuch. It would be a "cut out", just like remaindered LPs (and LDs) would have a saw cut along the side of the sleeve (where there was no disc), CDs would have a notch bitten out of the jewel case spine, and unsold books would have covers removed. (I may have seen a "cut out" DVD, but if I did, I don't remember how it was done.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecapn Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 First is chip inside maze craze, Second and third are Pepsi Invaders. So are these final copies and not prototypes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickeycolumbus Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thanks for all of the pictures, cool stuff! So are these final copies and not prototypes? I would guess they are final, since they are mask ROMs. Prototypes would be on EPROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Congrats on the legit Pepsi Invaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I would guess they are final, since they are mask ROMs. Prototypes would be on EPROMs. These aren't development prototypes, they're production prototypes. But without the matching cases you wouldn't be able to tell. There is still a chance that they could be different from the final release, though it is unlikely. Anyone got a can of Krylon and a hacksaw lying around in their garage? I can probably dig up a few old labels. (ha ha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
